That OU line seems real fishy to me. Especially considering it opened at 11 and was immediately bet down to 8.

I think it has a lot to do with the perception of WV hanging tough with Bama, and OU not destroying UT. I, personally, feel that OU is going to want to put it on WV since they hung within 10 of Bama so that in some roundabout way, Stoops can thump his chest like he beat the Tide again. Again JMO.

An interesting stat comparing the 2 deeps for Auburn and Kansas State:

Auburn28 Four Star recruits5 Five Star Recruits

K State0 Four Star Recruits0 Five Star Recruits

Line Auburn -8 1/2

I just don't see any way KSt hangs within 14 of them. Again, JMO, but I don't see the players at KSt being able to handle as physical of a team as Auburn. They run and are powerful when they do it. I don't see a romp like we put on TT, but I don't see this game going down to the wire. Auburn is the real deal. You don't know how much it pains me to be objective against Auburn.

I'm down to get together, but I don't play golf.

Golf carts are fun to drive drunk.

And on your objective auburn comment, when talkin money it doesn't matter. We prefer they whoop up on everyone they play here on out

I would like some advice if you don't mind from some of the regulars here. What are your thoughts on over 50 in the Redskins-Eagles this coming Sunday? RG3 being out only makes me like this bet even more...Cousins is a stud! I am seriously thinking about dropping $500 on the over barring any crazy weather or last minute injuries. When you look at the big picture here...50 seems pretty damn low to me. I could totally see this game being 40something to 30something. Thoughts?

It seems like sound reasoning to me. Wish I could give more feedback. Totals are probably my week spot. You would figure Philly scores at least 30 though right? I dunno. Lol good luck either way Bud!

I'd be hesitant. Eagles have a pretty good D. And they have yet to figure out how to score in the red zone or the 1st half. I took them and the over with the colts with my largest bet ever and hurt barely squeezed by. Philly got to the red zone 4 times at one point coming away with 6 points total I believe. Cousins could have a decent day and score 14-21. I could easily see it being a 13-17 redskins to 21-28 eagles. You could look at teasing your bet?

I finally found some trends that look decent, but several of those picks make me think that we haven't flushed the cupcake effect out of the stats yet. So far, I've done 1/2 unit each on the following:

San Jose St. +8.5Virginia +14Miss. St. +10GT +8.5OK -8

The sheets loved Utah State, but Arkansas State's brutal paycheck games have skewed their stats, so I'm passing. The sheets like Hawaii, Texas A&M, and Rutgers, but they are all pretty banged up, so I'm passing on those as well. They also like Troy, but I just can't bring myself to play one where Georgia will pretty much name its points. I wanted MO at -14 but the line was at -15. I'll reassess and may add that later.

Thanks for this info...not sure what I am gonna do but it is now up to 51 so we know where the public is going. What scares me almost out of playing it is that you think there is even a chance it could be a 17-13 game...yikes!

I am with you on Miss St +10 but that little voice in my gut tells me they will either win the game outright or get drilled...no in between. I might take a look at the $ line on this one. ESPN loves Miss St from all I have seen so far this year and none of them seem to be high on LSU.

I used to not keep up with totals much myself, but last year I made a killing on NFL totals. It is amazing how often a total that seems really high goes over and a total that seems really low goes under. Just food for thought.

To be exact I am saying the redskins could score 13-17 and the eagles could score 21-28. If I were to play this game, I'd tease it to widen the spread. Also, Chip Kelly could get the Offense clicking and put 41 on the seahawks if he needed too. He's got receivers, backs, and receivers with a good arm'd QB to score. They just need to show they can score in the red zone consistently, and their kicker is a rookie that was un drafted and tried out for a couple of teams before the eagles signing him.

So you'd wager 330 to make a 100? I personally wouldn't touch that with Monopoly money. If you're that scared of covering the spread then stay away or find a confident way to tease it (gets it too -2.5). I'd go drastic and buy it down 2 points at like -170 before I'd hit a -330 money line. It's college football, Jacksonville st, Appalachian st, vandy to Arkansas a few years ago, etc. these things happen. There are obviously enough people betting at Kstate +9 or +8.5 to have kept it from moving, which scares me.

I still haven't placed my bet yet, because vegas seems to know something I don't. I just can't see Kstate having the depth to hold Auburn. After seeing the Hogs first half with them I'm definitely leaving the first half alone though, at least with the spread.
